Cyber Security & Information Assurance

Cybersecurity, the DoD’s accepted term to describe efforts to secure the US cyberspace, has become increasingly important with the growing interconnectivity of modern systems, and the subsequent vulnerability to the loss of confidentiality, integrity and/or availability from the incessant attempts to penetrate the networks on which these systems reside. Quanterion supports the DoD’s cybersecurity activities at the architecture level, developing and documenting system implementations underlying modern DoD information networks, emphasizing software engineering approaches that integrate security and enforcement with the availability and effective use of military information. At the engineering level, Quanterion directly supports the generation and integration of software and algorithms that efficiently trade off identity/trust with assured delivery of critical mission information.

Quanterion developed and published the “Handbook of Software Reliability and Security Testing”, a comprehensive manual developed for the DoD’s Cyber Security and Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC).
